BINDING FOR QUILTS

I found s completely-machine-sewn binding! Here's how: You will need a main color and an accent color. Trim the excess batting from your quilt. Then measure the perimeter and add 10 inches. Cut as many strips of the {main} or outer binding to the perimeter of your quilt at 1 1/2" wide. Cut the same number of (accent) strips at 1 3/4". Sew the strips of each fabric together end to end. Sew the main color and the accent color together lengthwise using a 1/4" seam. There should be two strips that equal the perimeter of the quilt. Once the binding is attached all the way around your quilt, lightly press the binding toward the cut edge. Now wrap to the front, and using thread that matches the flange between the flange and the main binding fabric. Miter the corners as you would any binding: Join the two ends of the binding. Sew across the two ends of the binding at a 45 degree angle: If you stitch crosses the pin exactly where it went through the seams: you have a perfect join! FOLLOW ME ON PINTEREST
